@Lobby is there any Runtime modules that detects user inputs in all Textfields?

im making a text sensor that will censored all inappropriate words that the user used, this will be nice addon for the game if you want too :)

I'm afraid there's no mechanism to do that.

i think you can use string.gmatch and table of the "words" you want to censor.

I used string.gsub and works but can only censor Author name and City name :/

I'm sorry for bother you Lua experts lately, but could you tell me how I could get a sidebar button to open the building tool for an item with the ID "test.kt101"? I haven't been able to find any documentation or examples of it.

Here refering from GUI compedium

Code: Select all    Reset

function script:buildCityGUI()
  -- Let's append the button to the sidebar line
  local sidebar = GUI.get('sidebarLine')
  local size = sidebar:getFirstPart():getChild(2):getWidth()
  local button = sidebar:getFirstPart():addButton{
    width = size,
    height = size,
    icon = Icon.OK,
    frameDefault = Icon.NP_BLUE_BUTTON,
    frameDown = Icon.NP_BLUE_BUTTON_PRESSED,
    onClick = function() City.createDraftDrawer("test.kt101")end
  }
end
Interactive Lua editor
Run

function script:buildCityGUI()
  -- Let's append the button to the sidebar line
  local sidebar = GUI.get('sidebarLine')
  local size = sidebar:getFirstPart():getChild(2):getWidth()
  local button = sidebar:getFirstPart():addButton{
    width = size,
    height = size,
    icon = Icon.BIGBIGBIG_MAP,
    frameDefault = Icon.NP_BLUE_BUTTON,
    frameDown = Icon.NP_BLUE_BUTTON_PRESSED,
    onClick = function() City.createDraftDrawer(Draft.getDraft("AreaTool.kt101"))end
  }
end
Should this work? I tried it in my project, but it didn't open the building tool after I pressed the button like I was hoping it would.

You forgot to add .select() after draft drawer.

Code: Select all

City.createaDraftDrawer(draft).select()

I think I found a bug or maybe an oversight in my coding. I am using that function to open the building tool when a sidebar button is pressed, but it creates multiple instances of the item in the recent tab for every time I push the button:

Oddly enough, these extra instances will disappear after the GUI is refreshed. Is there a way I could fix this?

It is. I just realized that thing happen on my plugin (the sidebar small button). I thought it no problem because there are not multiple build mode.

To prevent that, you can try this code

Code: Select all

if City.createDraftDrawer(draft):getHistory()[1] ~= selectId then
   City.createDraftDrawer(selectDraft).select()
 end
If that code not work, try to make local var of the history.

i think these will not work if there is already previous history

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work for me. I did notice something though. One odd quirk about these multiple instances is that getHistory() ignores the extra ones, even if they fill the menu.
